Analyses of the semi-classical wavepacket approach to chemical reactions: the F+H-2 -> HF+H reaction

Mixed quantum-classical calculations using propagation of 3D wavepackets in hyperspherical coordinates have been performed for the F + H-2 --> HF + H reaction using two different potential energy surfaces. Vibrationally resol ved cross-sections show good agreement with those obtained from accurate qu antum mechanical calculations.
